bie # . ok Bs al he ae 1 2 The Nevado County Nugget Wednesday, October 8, 1969 A question and answer review on Mari Story By: DON BERRY CRAIG KASNOFF At this day and age the teenagers are more inquisitve than ever before. They want to break away from the people who brought about all this war and hatred we are living with today. To get away and escape from all this is what many kids want. This is where joints have helped them," Student: "I think they should turn on the Geneva Convention of War. It'll probably be legal within 10 years. After we finished interviewing these people we brought the subject before the principal of Nevada Union, Mr. Frantz." Mr. Frantz: "I am opposed to the use of marijuana. Thefe is no reason that we should legalize another evil.I feel that it is harmful toa persons mental health. It develops an attitude of complacency creates a false situation. I don't know about physical dangers, A person should not jeopardize his future by breaking the law. Not facing reality and using it as a crutch is wrong. This is what marijuana is, About the school many people say that the majority of the kids are using it. I don't feel this way. I think there are fewer using it." ; One of the main topics of controversy at most high schools and, or in the United States is that of marijuana. This subject has proven to be one that is very touchy, and this is probably more so in a small town. We, instead of giving one side or the other, thought it would (along with giving more people a chance to express themselves) be interesting. After going to teachers, parents, and teenagers, here are some of the results we collected: TEENAGER: "It's good, I guess. I feel it's better’ than On Campus Editorial by Don Berry dropping.” : ADULT: "I, personally, am afraid of it. To some people it gives a lift, others it doesn't. I wouldn't tell any youngster to try it, but then again I wouldn't tell anyone to drink. I don't, so I wouldn't publicize it." ADULT: "I really don't know anything about it. I think kids should go ahead and do what they feel is right. They don't listen to authority anyway. I have small children, and I don't know whether they would take it from someone who'd give itto them or not. This worries me. I also like this kind of article because both sides get a chance to express themselves." TEACHER; "I do not feel that @ person should use it but if he does, he does, Although I feel alcohol is no better. Most of all I think that the penalty should be lowered, Marijunaisa felony, I feel this is ridicu‘lous. The idea of legalization is up to the generations to come," : STUDENT: “I think it's alright. Well, you know." ADULT: "T've thought about it a lot lately and came to the thinking that it's a good thing, but that you can always have Finding a job is the biggest problem for high school students. Most students would like to find a job because there are a lot of things they want, especially when they are sixteen and over, . because they are old enough to drive. You people probably know what that means. Most’ people would like jobs because there are many things that a teenager needs, material along with experience. ' Why are good jobs hard to find? Probably because, if you walk into a store and apply for a job, and your hair isn't cut to the latest adult style, you are classified as a.dirty hippie. Things might be different if you know the owner, most likely you would only be classified as a hippie. There are some jobs that are easier to catch than others. maybe a dishwashing job or delivering papers, if you are up to that sort of thing. Maybe you can even get a job turning kids into the police. What kind of training do these jobs offer, we would like jobs that have a challenge, or that are interesting and maybe have a future. If a student. could find something that they could actually do and enjoy, it would even be better, But I fargure that four out of 10 have this kind of job. J] know this because have talked to many students, What are the rest doing? You figure it out. too much of a good thing. I do think that it should be controlled like alcohol, and if it got out of control it would be just as _ bad as alcohol, I think that legalization is more politicalthan anything else. If it were to be legal it would be an age limit of 21 on it. I personally feel it should be legal if only to keep people out of jail. Student: "I don't think it'll be: legal for a while, but it's an out of sight trip." . Teacher: "I feel it's harmful to your health, just as bad as alcohol. The effects mentally I really couldn't comment on, but I hate to see a person drive a car on it, "Many believe that it opens up a world for them, I don't think so, I think if you like art or music do it, but you don't need marijuana, "I have yet to go to a party where pot was at. When I was younger we used to get together and tip a few. “I don't really feel that teachers have enough knowledge to what it's all about. Most teachers do have material on it though. "The fact that marijuana may lead to other drugs will have a great effect on whether it will become legal or not.” Student: "You have to look at _ the good and the evil of marijuana before you can’ judge it. "Why the parents can rap the kids from my using it is beyond my comprehension, I think the best and most sensible thing to do would be take it all the time and money that they spend on trying to stop it and put it towards research and find out if its all so harmful as they say. "IT have yet to have someone show. me definite proof tliat marijuana is harmful. If we (through research) found out it was not harmful, there would be a hell of a lot more time and people around to work on something more productive. Chamber tidbits We met many new friends. last Saturday at the: Kiwanis Gold Mine Tour. Those who came the greatest distance was a couple from Sweden, and another family from Chicago. The Club worked like Trojans to show their guests a fine time, andap. parently succeeded, since compliments were being handed out by the score on every phase of the day, including lunch. ~ This week we are working on the Trade Fair and every day brings more .entires for display and sales, Some new ones are John Richardson and his pottery; Mrs. Bangert with a new type of toy and novelty; Hse Barnhart with holiday decorations; and the Tingley family, who will have a number of surprise items.
